Nebraska. No front plate. Never been pulled over. Of course, I'm an old fart and drive conservatively in town.

Don't drive the Hwy 275 Fremont bypass on a Sunday. There's a State Patrolman who watches that stretch like a hawk. In different yrs he's pulled me over with my LE, my 07 CS, and 08 CSS. The first two were fix-it tickets, the last one a $73 ticket. He mentioned something about me having a hard time displaying my front plates.

During the day, OPD could care less if you have a plate. Since I've been pulled over at night for rolling a stop sign and making a left turn into a right lane, I'm sure they'd use no front plate as an excuse to pull you over at night. I was pulled over by a State Patrolman in my 01S for no front plate but that was during a late night celebration during Omaha's Nationwide golf tournament. In all 3 cases they were fishing for drunks.

I was also pulled over near Fremont in 1985 driving my brother's '83 Turbo T-Bird. You guessed it - no front plate. Don't think it was the same Patrolman who got me the last 3 times. I bet the satellites were working overtime printing out my rap sheet the last time I got caught.

Am I a scofflaw?

I decided to remove my front plate and found these unsightly marks.
